[Nhcoll-l] Portable Fume Extractors?

[Rebecca Desjardins]

Hello;

My colleague from Spain encouraged us to buy these, they are great. Two arms and not too heavy.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Portable Fume Extractors?


Anyone have a recommendation for a portable/benchtop fume extractor for use when rehousing/examining  specimens in formalin?



For logistical reasons, it’s not practical for us to be transporting these specimens to our dedicated fume hood every time we need to open a jar. It would be ideal to have a setup where an articulating arm could be positioned just above a workstation so that fumes are drawn away from the jar, as I’ve seen in a few other museum labs in the past (Smithsonian MSC comes to mind).



Best,

Nate
